Hello friends and Welcome to NEW RELEASE DAY here at Inspired Stamps!!

Above you see a glimpse at a rerelease of the alphabet/numeral/symbol set called COLORABLE UPPER CASE ALPHABET that is our largest size of 6x8 in total.  Each piece is about an inch in size and allows you to color your words, numbers, phrases, and symbols to match whatever paper you are using...see the beautiful new Graphic 45 paper above I chose to match the colors for in my thanks card shown here:
Easy to do with this COLORABLE UPPER CASE ALPHABET that is now in the online store for $23.99:
The next new release is also in our new largest set size of 6x8 and has around 50 individual stamps: 
Art Journal Words and Faces is perfect for cards, scrapbook pages, and art journaling:
I just love this set!
Next up is the Guard Your Heart set, which has some of my favorite verses on it along with Kary's card from this week:

This set is 4x6 so it's $13.99 The flowers are separate from the verse, so you can use them with or without it.
Next up is the Butterflies and Blooms set (also a $13.99 set) with Gaby's card from earlier this week:

Our 5th and final release this month is the$13.99 GODS CREATURES: Pets stamp set along with Chere's card from earlier this week:

Sneak Peek #1: Art Journal Words and Faces + DAILY GIVEAWAYS!

Hello friends!
Today I am SO EXCITED to get to share with you a Sneak Peek into what will be a new size of stamp set...the 6x8 size!  This size enables me to include almost double what is on the 4x6 size!!  This ART JOURNAL WORDS AND FACES SET will retail at $23.99 and has SO much to offer--around 50 separate stamps!!...several faces that you can adjust the mouths on to show joy, sadness, indifference, nervousness, or leave the mouth off for a whole different expression!  You'll have to stop by Friday for a full view of ALL the stamps being released, but until then, I have several samples to share:
The card above I made using several of the words together on a block to create the background:

I stamped it twice (as shown above).  Next I used Distress Ink and a sponge dauber to ink around the outside edges, before matting, tying a bow and stamping 'JESUS' on a piece of yellow cardstock:

This set can also be used for art journaling or scrapbooking on larger paper.  I used one of the face stamps off of this with a smile stamp and the stamp 'Scripture' on page 2 of my 2 page layout in the 31 Days of ART Journaling post over on the Godblessyourart blogspot post, where I gave an extra sneak peek of the set laying on a painted surface:

(The body was created in the journal, but is not a stamp)  The words "I Believe God" are from the sneak peek too!
Anita, from the Design Team, made a couple of projects, too:

Leave a comment=you are entered in our $10 store credit giveaway!
SHARE our Sneak Peek Week and Giveaway with your friends and encourage them to come comment.
When someone says YOU sent them, if they win=YOU will win, too!!
You have until noon Tuesday to leave a comment here and/or our facebook page...we'll announce the winner for today in Tuesday's post! 
Until then,
Blessings,
~Antoinette
